I'm not sure what 'extortionate' is, but if you mean very high (exorbitant), then what are they providing you for your rental?

A surface, some chips, and a deck of cards?

Are you the only english speaker there? I don't see how you could possibly be a long term winner in this environment. How do you know the players aren't actively manipulating the deck while they discuss it in chinese?!

I would never play there again under any circumstances.
